Golden State Champions

Steph Curry With The Shot!

Stephen Curry & Andre Iguodala

 

 

A much deserved win for the Golden State Warrior on Tuesday night. The first championship in 40 years, after going down 2-1 in the series, the warriors came back to win 3 straight games over the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was an unexpected lost for the Cavaliers, being that Lebron James proclaimed the title as "The best player in the world" during a recent press conference.

Andre Iguodala was announced as the MVP of the series. Although many were expecting point guard Stephen Curry to receive the title, there were also debates about if Lebron should have still gotten the MVP title. Iguodala outscored the Cavs by 62 points during the series, so he's well deserving of the MVP title, even if Steph Curry got the shot.

Score 105-97
Congratulations Warriors!   

Jurassic World

In Theaters Now

 Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitor's interest, which backfires horribly.

Review
This is the a great family movie to intensify the summer is what you'll feel when watching Jurassic World. The movie continues the 1993 Jurassic Park story line with a whole new breed of dinosaurs.Throughout the movie you'll learn about the main characters and their backgrounds. However story line is centered around the dinosaurs, expressing how humans have taken advantage of recreating this extinct species. Using the species for their own beneficial purpose without regard to the animals life and existence.

2015 XXL Freshmen Revealed

Class of 2015

Fetty Wap
Dej Loaf
Raury
Kidd Kidd
OG Maco
Shy Glizzy
Goldlink
K Camp
Vince Staples
Tink
For those of you who don't know, the annual XXL Freshmen covers are the newest Indy artist that everyone is predicting to be the next major artist. Generally these are the artist who has stood out during this season, and are expected to make a major move inside of the hip hop industry. They're a few unexpected faces on the cover, and also fans like myself, were wondering why any of the OVO crew on the cover weren’t. Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Satten answers in a Breakfast club interview how Partynextdoor & iloveMakonnen lacked interest in being on the cover and how some of the artist got on the cover. Could they be following in the footsteps of Label owner Drake? Who was not on the freshmen list along with label mate Nicki Minaj. However the XXL Freshmen cover has had major hip hop stars on the cover such as: J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Future, Meek Mill, Big Sean, Macklemore etc...  Following the release of the cover is the freshmen cypher, where each artist issued, has their chance to spit hot bars, ultimately proving why they're on the cover. I’m looking forward to hear Dej Loaf, Tink, OG Maco, and Raury in the cypher. So this is one of most hip hop artist's dreams. Congrats to the artist that made the cover they well deserve. 

Stream Lil Durk - Remember My Name (album)

Remember My Name

Stream A$AP Rocky's Album ALLA

At.Long.Last.A$AP

Well isn't this a surprise, A$AP Rocky decided to release his sophomore album Monday night. If anyone else was wondering where TF A$AP has been, now we know, making a good ass album. I'm sure my readers by now can tell that I'm a picky music listener. I only enjoy good music that has noticeable work and effort inside of the music. A$AP long story short you delivered. I've only listened to the album once so after a few more times I'm sure I'll update this post, but as for now ALLA is dopeness! The collaborations with Joe Fox give ALLA a nice in sync sound. ALLA also features the artist: Miguel, Lil Wayne, Future, Schoolboy Q, M.I.A., and more. Yes, the album has a lot of features, but all of the features are needed to build this sound. A$AP also delivers of course with his flow and content on the album. The Holy Ghost intro is so far my favorite off of ALLA, setting the tone for the album. A$AP has yet to disappoint his true audience with his music. 5/5 A$AP keep hustlin! 

King Gucci Review

Mr. Ice Cream Man

Unexpected new music from Guwop is the talk of the internet. Although Guwop is currently incarcerated he still has remained somewhat relevant in the music streetz. Honestly I am not a fan of Gucci's music, and never was, but Guwop has my respect. Back in 2006 I never expected this Atlanta movement that Brick Squad took over with to last over 3 years, and the movement definitely has made a legendary place in hip-hop. With the guidance of Deb (Waka Flocka mom), Brick Squad dominated Atlanta, making the Atlanta turn up "sound" a type of culture, whether you like it or not, this is true. As for the new mixtape King Gucci, I think it's a good tape for Guwop. King Gucci has all of the right features such as: migos, fetty wap, pee wee long way, Riff Raff etc... Those are good features because those artists are relevant to the ATL sound lane with the exception of Young Thug. I also like how he used more producers making the beats and overall sound slightly different oppose to the other mixtapes. Once again this is not my preferred style of music but I can hear others who enjoy the style liking this mixtape. DJ Scream & DJ Drama was the perfect choice for the DJ's also.  Good Job Guwop!

2015 Luxury Cars Ooohh la la

McLaren 650S

280,225.00

The 2015 McLaren 650S is a 2-door, 2-seat Coupe, available in 2 trims, ranging from the Coupe to the Spider. Upon introduction, the $265,500 Coupe is equipped with a standard 3.8L, 8-cylinder, engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. An Automatic transmission is standard. The $280,225 Spider is equipped with a standard 3.8L, 8-cylinder, engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 22-mpg on the highway. An Automatic transmission is standard.

Porsche 918 Spyder

929,000.00

It took Porsche years to develop a worthy successor to the vaunted Carrera GT supercar, but at last, the 918 is here—and it’s a plug-in hybrid! With a combined 887 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque from its mid-mounted V-8 and electric motors—one at each axle—the 918 delivers Bugatti-like acceleration, tenacious handling, and a 211-mph top end. And of course, it’s every bit as exotic-looking as any near-million-dollar supercar should be, with a low-slung, targa body, and ultra-futuristic cabin.

Pagani Huayra

1,500,000.00

Ludicrous in every way and utterly fascinating in every gorgeous detail, this is a 720-hp, mid-engine, million-dollar supercar for those who have grown bored with mere Ferraris and Lamborghinis and already have two Bugattis. Somewhat obscure, and very low production, it’s a hard-core machine for discriminating connoisseurs with sufficient liquidity. Brilliantly quick, tenacious on any surface, and almost freakishly aggressive, it’s a car that beautifully warps the minds of the world’s youth.

Koenigsegg Regera

2,000,000.00

Interestingly enough, Christian von Koenigsegg is not a fan of hybrids. So, be sure to never call the Regera a hybrid. Instead, it is a new breed of car that utilizes Koenigsegg Direct Drive Transmission (KDD). This new system was developed by Christian von Koenigsegg and it creates “direct drive to rear axle from the combustion engine without the need of multitude gears or other traditional types of variable transmissions, with inherently high energy losses.” Combine the massive amounts of power, a new transmission and the car’s curb weight of 3,589 lbs, and the Regera will rocket from 0-248 mph in just 20 seconds.

Ivan N YaMouf #MusicMonday

Made It This Far 

 

Ivan N. YaMouf is a hip-hop artist from Southside Virginia (The 7 cities). He still displays extensive lyricism and consciousness in his music in a time where content has become watered down. Recently he has experienced great solo success after his group, LTM 3 Dots, became stagnant. He still has hope for the group to get back together in the near future, but in the meantime he will sharpen up his skills and fly solo.

His first solo track, Pandora, was written out of pure inspiration. Ivan N. YaMouf dives deep into a wave of a jazz meets hip-hop to create a smooth and unique vibe. The lyrics of "PANDORA" are layered with triple entendres of past, present, and future events to come. Hence the saying "Made it This Far” on the Hook.

On July 4th 2014, Ivan released the official Video for "Pandora" along with the EP/soundtrack "Made it This Far" to signify his independence as an artist. The official Video for "Pandora" was shot by LVCHLD ofPOSTMOD.TV

*As of late 2014 the song "Pandora" was accepted for Pandora Internet Radio

October 31st Ivan N. YaMouf drops the second hit single "Snap Dragon" official music video. This unique video is a definite eye catcher with slick visuals on top of an already catchy track. The official video for "Snap Dragon” was shot by LVCHLD of POSTMOD.TV

April 14th Ivan released his first single off one of the most anticipated Albums of 2015, "The Sauce: Spirit of a Hustla" Ivan N. YaMouf delivers his signature melodic flow over a crafty beat by Forb3Mag once again. He's got "The Sauce" do you?

Dope Video!

Mayweather VS Pacquiao #MayPac

Round 1 Fight!

The most anticipated match, Floyd Mayweather VS Manny Pacquiao, of the year is set to air on Saturday, May 2, 2015. The fight will take place at Mayweather's home gym, MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Who will win? Mayweather hasn't lost since his semifinal bout against Serafim Todorov at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, has had 40 wins come by way of knockout or unanimous decision and has officially been knocked down once since he turned professional. Mayweather owns the quickest counter-punch in the sport and can duck, dance and instantaneously weave out of corners.

Pacquiao is capable of winning the fight due to the number of punches he throws. Pacquiao unique South Paw style of fighting will be different for Mayweather and may cause problems for Mayweather.   

Pacquiao is the first and only eight-division world champion, in which he has won ten world titles, as well as the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes.

Being that Mayweather comes from a family of boxers, which means he's been training probably since he was 4, my decision is Mayweather will win. This is definitely the fight of fights to see!

(UPDATE)

Unique opinions from a broad audience weigh in on the big Mayweather VS Pacquiao fight. The fight was the most talked about event on the web last night, many people were disappointed in the outcome of the fight, claiming "they were too soft." Mayweather is a defensive fighter and seems to me that he didn't put up his hardest effort. Pacquiao responded very well to Mayweather techniques, and displayed many nice shots, but came up short 3 rounds. Floyd Mayweather remains undefeated making his record 48-0, announcing that he will retire once he wins fight 50. Congrats on the win Floyd!

Tyler Hotel - How Are You Doing

Tyler Hotel 

James Tyler’s is a Chicago based solo artist, and he has recently released his long awaited new album titled "How Are YOU Doing?" which he had been working on for almost a year. 

"I made this album to address a lot of things in my life that I was avoiding, friends were going in and out of hospitals, and family problems were arising. So I decided to tackle it head on by making a project about it, and during the process learned how to treat myself".

The project consists of 6 songs, and talks a lot about the mental, physical and emotional states of being alive. And after the release of HAYD, it is safe to say that he is more alive than ever. This is the biggest and most successful addition to his career and he couldn't be happier with both it, and all the love and support he is getting.

Tyler, The Creator - Cherry Bomb Review

Cherry Bomb 

Cherry Bomb is the fourth album for rapper, Tyler The Creator. Although the odd future camp has been M.I.A from the hip hop industry, they definitely understand how to remain relevant. As for the album I think it’s passable as a solid fourth album. The fourth albums are supposed to be more relaxed and less intense because as an artist this is the time to vacate, after all the years of long sleepless nights. Cherry Bomb is not a classic, but it's Tyler, and I give the album a 7 out of 10.  

Rihanna - American Oxygen (official video)

American Oxygen

Debuted earlier this month at the March Madness festival in Indianapolis, pop princess Rihanna now releases a scrutinizing video for American Oxygen. The video keeps your mind wondering if she’s promoting peace or other subliminal messages. Depicting various American struggles, political, and peace figures throughout the entire video, I believe in efforts to promote unity. This is a different style for Rihanna, and her fans love it, but then again who can dislike anything Ri Ri does. After a questionable video went viral, all eyes have been on Rihanna and this is a perfect way to silence the cocaine snorting rumors. Good job Ri I enjoyed the song and video.    

Tongues of Fire - Prayer Heels

Montez McCamish is his name, Blues is his Game, /and Tongues of Fire is the band name, a creative sound from the soul of a young man. The gut wrenching howling and hollering comes from the BLUES.

This young man is on the way to something different behind the craft of his work. 

Preaching the word threw the music that you hear without a cover, the truth in the world today and how he views it. McCamish is inspired by other great blues artist such as: Howlin Wolf, Little Richard, B.B king, Al Green, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Big Moma Thornton, Mr. Pitiful, John Lee Hooker, Betty Lavette and many more. Youtubers love his most recent video “Prayers Heels,” describing the song as unique and inspirational. Gospel is on the lookout for Montez McCamish.
